Returning for a brief, three-week 'holiday' session, Congress has returned to the scene of their crimes and misdemeanors, and to hear Bush tell it, they've been very naughty as well--for not toeing Bush's funding line.
Or at least that's the Dems according to Dubya.
When I opened the chart for this morning, Capitol Building, 9:00 am est, the Sun popped out at me--11Sag+, conjunct the Pluto/Chiron conjunction of Dec 30, 1999. As you know, the Pluto/Chiron combo is the plutocratic, oppressive, corporatism-fascism energy which has the world in a stranglehold (plus, there's Jupiter/Pluto, also a significator for plutocracy and excessive power.)
Chiron adds a wounded and disenfranchised quality to Pluto's behind-the-throne power tendencies.
Moon 4Lib00 (just past the Sibly USA natal MC) had just crossed the MC (4Lib15) in the Pluto/Chiron chart (5:50 am est; Dec 30, 1999) at 9:00 am in Washington, reflecting this degree publicly (although it's the backroom deals that guide them in House and Senate, not the Public's wishes, as we've noticed insufferably.)
Using the rounding-up method because it seems to apply to Washington more than the previous Sabian Symbol, let's peek at Lynda Hill's book on the Symbols, 360 Degrees of Wisdom, for the Moon's degree, "5Lib":
"A Man Teaching The True Inner Knowledge Of The New World To His Students":
Some Keywords: guidance and protection; being a guiding light for others; imparting wisdom; seeking answers to complicated questions (yes, please!); pioneers, teachers, students; secrets of the new age (oops.)
And Lynda always gives a Caution for each degree: dogmatism; feeling that one person has the only true answer (impossible!); feeling highly "evolved" and holding it over other people's heads; evangelism; arrogance; telling others "how it is" regardless of their feelings; gurus and cult dogma; the blind leading the blind.#
Sadly for America, that last one is the fear of all of us who sent Representatives to Washington to "serve" the People. Some members still attempt this "serving", or give a good performance of it for the record. And with so much on their plates for this three-week session, we may not see much more than stopgap measures, nostril flaring, and veto pens brandished tempestuously.
From adjustment of the AMT to the funding of the neocon's Iraq occupation, their arrogant imperialsm continues to defy reason, sanity, and the US piggybank they smashed with a hammer long ago.
Three short weeks? So much to do, so little time...and so much grandstanding and bluster to act out. Washington Theater, Dahling.
Diversions-r-us. Pocket-lining complimentary.

Ron Paul: rectified!
Thanks to Granny Miller I am now in possession of a rectified natal chart for presidential candidate, Ron Paul, whose exact time of birth is unknown (says he.)
Granny is recommending a birth time of 7:45 am based on her rectification, i.e. timing of events which coincide with angular triggers, etc, and on election day transits for Nov 4, 2008--which she says look good for the Doctor!
Here you see dual charts with Solar chart top right, and rectified chart bottom left. The 7:45 am version adds some midpoint pictures:
Mercury/Neptune = ASC: being exploited, deceived, or harmed by others; potential overreactions; open to others' influence.
Sun/Venus = ASC: a kind-hearted personality.
Jupiter/MC = Sun: success and recognition; illumination of one's life purpose; new opportunities.
NN/ASC = Jupiter: humanitarianism; fortunate associations.
The rectified chart puts Sun and Mercury in 12th house and, as you know, it's quite usual for a politician to have a 12th house (unconsciously arrogant) Sun!
More details: previous post based on Paul's solar chart (sunrise for day of birth) is here.
Solar charts are always good for ego-related or creative issues. They're like a photo of the individual that's slightly out of focus--so all the warts may not be visible; you'll find that the Sun/Moon personality details stay the same.
Bush irony strikes Putin--no scratch reported
With transit *Jupiter conjunct Putin's natal Mars and tr Neptune conj his natal NN (the public), Vladimir Putin's party has "won" the elections in Russia.
And George Bush has mildly called for investigation into election "irregularities" in Russia which is not as surprising as it is ironic. After all, where does Bush think he'd be without election irregularities (and a complicit Supreme Court)?
As I've mentioned here before--cheating isn't "winning"...it's stealing.
When election irregularities really needed investigating in the US, Bush stayed mum for all the obvious reasons...now he dares to comment on Putin's situation which is sure to bring him understandable--if mock--scorn from Putin concerning our own election "process" which has turned against the populace like a piqued dictator on a rampage.
The Holier-Than-Thou Theater is tres dramatic, is it not?
And the win-at-any-cost Machiavellians among us would be comedically entertaining if they weren't totally vile and psychotic.
*Jupiter to Mars: a fortunate period if overestimation of abilities is avoided; luxury consciousness prominent; on the winning team. Or in this case, on the cheating team which passes for winning in today's political world.
Neptune to North Node: inspired use of illusion or deception in dealing with the public (who sees what they want to see!)

Hillary's realpolitiks
Just found an interesting blog by Jonolan called Reflections from a Murky Pond with a current post on Hillary Clinton's expertise with the realpolitikal process, and the recent Republican debate (so-called.)
You'll also find an interesting historical timeline of the Second Amendment from 1789 and the subtle word arranging that went on as it was being written, voted upon, and accepted. Well done.
In 1999 and 2000, I pleaded with anyone who would listen not to vote for George Bush. Now I do the same for Hillary Clinton. You wouldn't, would you?
Is she experienced? yes. Familiar with the White House and its ways? oh yes. A continuation of Bush-Clinton world agenda policies? double yes. And I know you don't want that because you see where it's brought us...to being the scourge of the world.
So the NWO's steamroller with its "strong-armed paternalism" vibe plows on along. Changing it to "strong-armed maternalism" by putting a woman in the driver's seat won't make their world government plans any less objectionable to the common man or woman.
Natal chart for the NWO which includes a link to chart details and the Sabian Symbol for "strong-armed paternalism" here.

Dec 11: Fed meeting
Yes, it's true, the Fed (-eral Reserve Bank) has a meeting scheduled for Dec 11, the very day of the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto and you'll find an UPDATE to the post which I've added just now.

if Bush attacks Iran
Now this is what I've suggested before: if Washington won't carry out the will of the people--stop paying them come April.
If Bush Attacks Iran, He Won't Get My Taxes
By Chris Hedges
I will not pay my income tax if we go to war with Iran. I realize this is a desperate and perhaps futile gesture. But an attack on Iran--which appears increasingly likely before the coming presidential election--will unleash a
regional conflict of catastrophic proportions. This war, and especially Iranian retaliatory strikes on American targets, will be used to silence domestic dissent and abolish what is left of our civil liberties. It will solidify the slow-motion coup d'état that has been under way since the 9/11 attacks. It could mean the
death of the Republic.

dry Venus and the Comet's tail grows back
Space Weather News for Nov. 29, 2007
SOLAR WIND DRIES VENUS: The European Space Agency's Venus Express spacecraft has made an important discovery: the solar wind dries out Venus.
Unlike Earth, Venus has no global magnetic field to deflect particles from the sun; when solar wind hits Venus it actually strips away some of Venus' upper atmosphere. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms fly into space, removing from Venus the chemical building blocks of water. This process makes an already hellish planet even worse.
Link to more information may be found below.
COMET 17P/HOLMES UPDATE: Now that the full Moon has left the evening sky, Comet Holmes is visible again. The comet is not as bright as it was when it first exploded in late October.
Most people now have trouble finding it with the naked eye. A quick sweep through Perseus with a pair of binoculars, however, will pinpoint the comet while the smallest of telescopes reveals it to be a truly impressive object.
Comet Holmes now occupies about 10 times the volume of the Sun and it is developing a hint of a blue-green tail. A similar tail was observed in early November, but it broke off during an apparent magnetic storm.
Now the tail is growing back.

thoughts of and on Samuel Adams
"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence.
It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." #
Samuel Adams (1722-1803), aka the "Father of the American Revolution."
Oops! the cheating and artifices began years ago, sad to say.
Here's the WIKI article on Samuel Adams if you're interested, and I took a peep at his natal placements for day of birth...his Mercury/Mars conjunction in Libra sextile n Saturn 12Sag57 (Saturn conj US natal ASC in the 'Sibly' chart indicating a long-term and strong relationship.)
Sep 27, 1722, Boston, MA: Moon was in Taurus the entire day so we have a personality blend of Sun Lib/Moon Tau which is a diplomatic combo with a desire for justice.
An Air-Fire blend is a "live wire" type of personality, no matter the signs, and may be blustering and long-winded. Full of ideas and persuasive ability, Air-Fire type tends to be a utopian idealist...just what America needed at the time, bluster and all.
Sun Lib/Moon Tau has a very good business sense (for beer brewing, one assumes, and otherwise!) and is interested in abstract ideas which are put across with impartial passion.
With both Libra and Taurus ruled by Venus, art and music are well-loved, and people and relationships are of primary importance. Adams believed that everyone should be heard as this blend supports.
This is an idealist + hedonist blend, a lover of nature with a healthy helping of generosity and friendliness; plus, this blend gave Adams a patient and balanced commitment to justice which served his nation well.
